Accessible Stadiums

Assistive Listening Systems.

When audible communications are integral to the use of a stadium, assistive listening systems are required for people who are hard of hearing. These systems amplify sound and deliver it to a special receiver that is worn by the spectator, or to the spectator’s hearing aid, depending on the type of system that is used.

• The stadium must provide receivers for the assistive listening system. The number of available receivers must equal four percent of the total number of seats.

• Signs must be provided to notify spectators of the availability of receivers for the assistive listening system.
